I don't love my first name, but I do like my middle name. I decided to go by Marie (my middle name) a few years ago, and I plan on dropping my last name completely when I get married.
Do you like your name?

My name's Michael and I'm happy with it ^-^
At school two of my friends were also called Michael and we'd have to say Michael and then the first letter of our last name. I'm glad I have a common and normal name for some reason...

My name is Brigitte and I've always hated my name. It's French, but I live in America and it sounds so ugly here. I don't think a single person has spelled my name right on the first try. Even my grandparents don't know how to spell it correctly.
There's no good nicknames for it, and none for my middle name, either.
Also, apparently it's really dated in France! Nobody has named their daughter 'Brigitte' since the '50s! It's like Betty in a way.

I think it's kinda cute name, at least better than mine who people think it's pronounced/spelt a French way sigh. Also "old lady" names can be cute as long as people don't do weird double names like ulla-greta or name their kid iron age viking names
Thank you, I appreciate hearing that. I hear you, though, people have pronounced my name in some very strange ways before.
I agree, I love a lot of "old lady" names myself. Probably because I watch way too many Old Hollywood films.

I love my name actually! I love how it means honeybee! I go by nicknames online mostly cause I prefer that but, in real life everyone mostly calls me by my full name which is Melissa. I think my name suits me to be honest.. I dunno something about it just feels right! I love bees too so that helps! I'm not fond of honey a lot but, I love how it has that in my name too.. I think it's cute.
Brigitte is actually a pretty common name here in Germany. It was the most popular name in 1950.
Well, at least you're named after a goddess
Maybe "Bree" as a nickname?

I love my name it was quite common in the country I’m from but where I live now it’s not that common and I’ve gotten a lot of compliments from people about my name! My name is pronounced Celine, like my username, however it’s actually spelt differently and weirdly I pronounce my name differently depending on which country I’m in and whichever way is easier to say for the people in that country. I can’t explain why but I’ve just always felt that my name ‘suits’ me.

I like my name!
I'm called Sophie, but when I was 11 I changed the spelling to Sofie because I much prefer it (and it annoys me when it gets spelled the other way haha!)
I do like it, but it was common when I was younger. Also every time someone starts a sentence with "so" I automatically tune in because I think they're saying my name!
Hate my last name though. It's "hunt" which as you can imagine, is awkward to say over the phone. *rolls eyes*

My name is Courtney, and it's alright I guess, but it's pretty common. I actually prefer my name that I chose in Spanish class, Catalina, over my real name.

I'm neutral about it. Its an okay name, and I like the meaning, but I think its too common in the US and I don't feel special.
My name was name of the year when I was born, there were four other *name* in the same hospital I was born in -_- It's super common, it's bland, there are too many different ways to spell it, I have no nicknames from it and people still find a way to mis-pronounce it. So, no, I don't like it.
I go by Jerico online now, it's soooooo much more better, and if changin my name my name was easy, Jerico would be a top contender.

I like my name, I don't like that I can't use Stephanie as my Mayor name though. How can a name be too long??
When I was a kid I hated my name because it made me sound like an old lady (I was named after one of my Italian aunts) but as I got older I started to like it more I guess, though I prefer people call me Jo since it's easier. It's usually my family that call me by my full name.
